Why Walk Wells

Wells has been a city since receiving its charter in 1205, though its population remains under 12,000. The cathedral, begun in 1175, is famous for its extraordinary West Front — a screen of over 300 medieval carved figures — and its unique scissor arches added in the 14th century to support the crossing tower. Vicars' Close, a 14th-century residential street, is claimed to be the oldest complete medieval street in Europe.
